I Lied

By Anonymous, meadow grove, NE

I see the scars And know How weak I once was And how weak I still am I lied I drop the blade And swear to be strong But I lied I leave it lay As I walk away But I lied I look at you and promise, "I won't cut again." But I lied If you look Into my eyes You'll know How I've lied You stop me on the street And ask "Did you cut again?" I'll lie I look at you And swear "I didn't cut again." But I lied When you look into my eyes You'll know How I've lied`
